How does AA NOT perpetuate racism? This may have been appropriate 40-50 years ago, not now. If this country is trying to counter racism this only aggravates the situation. Just as Cynthetiq commented descisions should be made on the merit of work and accomplishment not any race. IMO AA is in the same catagory as reparations, its stepping backwards not forward. Should a majority of the US uproot and leave to compensate for Manifest Destiny? Barak being elected is a sure indication the AA should be stopped. Anything that fuels racism should be stopped.
